To test the condition of cables on 10/100/1000 BASE-T modules, use the tdr-cable-test command:
Splitting QSFP ports to SFP+ ports
Splitting QSFP ports to SFP+ ports is supported on platform z
The Z9000 supports splitting a single 40G QSFP port into four 10G SFP+ ports using one of the supported
breakout cables (refer to the Z9000 Installation Guide or the Z9000 Release Notes for a list of supported
cables).
Important Points
• Splitting a 40G port into 4x10G port is supported only on a standalone unit.
• Split ports cannot be used as stack-link to stack an Z9000.
• Split ports cannot be a part of any stacked system.
• The unit number with the split ports must be the default (stack-unit 0)

EXEC Privilege To test for cable faults on the GigabitEthernet
cable.
• Between two ports, the user must not start
the test on both ends of the cable.
• The user must enable the interface before
starting the test.
• The port should be enabled to run the test
or the test prints an error message.
